This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. How come bees always find their way home, not to mention in a straight line? What is it about the insect brain that allows them to navigate so easily? Could we copy that function? A step in this direction has now been taken by a group of scientists in a project combining the fields of biology, physics, nanoscience and

The Swedish Government Agency for Innovation Systems, Vinnova, will invest in 11 new competence centers starting in January 2024. Among the new ones, two are directly connected to NanoLund and the Department of Physics – which, together with the already existing center C3NiT, means that there are now three in total. New research environments for sustainable and digital transformation are emerging.

This was the question that researchers at the International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics asked themselves ahead of the SCORAI conference in Lund. Tools are now available to measure this. Using the TravelCO2 tool, participants' individual carbon footprints were calculated – and the results showed that the conference's total emissions were significantly lower than average.The SCO

What does your work consist of? As a coordinator, I have an overarching perspective since I work with all the faculty’s programmes. My job is partly to coordinating all written exams in the QPS system, and optimise the processes around this, and partly to provide training and support to the faculty's teachers and administrators. Currently I am focused on the written exams, but further on I will wo

The Department of Sociology's Christopher Mathieu is one of the editors of a new and heavy tome clarifying the complex and much-debated issue of the quality of jobs. It is easy to imagine what it is like to have a good job: good pay, low stress, short hours, a lot of freedom and creativity and a strong sense of meaning. Friendly colleagues would be nice. What about a comfortable workspace or an in

Researchers in Lund have discovered an antitoxin mechanism that seems to be able to neutralise hundreds of different toxins and may protect bacteria against virus attacks. The mechanism has been named Panacea, after the Greek goddess of medicine whose name has become synonymous with universal cure. The understanding of bacterial toxin and antitoxin mechanisms will be crucial for the future success

Klimatförändringarna är en realitet för samhällen över hela världen, vilket tvingar regeringar och internationella organisationer att föreslå klimatanpassningsåtgärder. Dessa strategier ovanifrån är inte alltid i linje med människors behov, värderingar eller lagstadgade rättigheter.

Through a simple, inexpensive five-minute test, one can obtain an initial indication of whether a child has ADHD or not. This is demonstrated by a research team at Lund University, connecting the changes in the cerebellum associated with ADHD to a finger-tapping test. The test can be used as a complement to existing diagnostic methods. ADHD is considered the most common neurodevelopmental disorder
